two sink aerators with screens (yaknow, the things on sinks that makes the water come out nice)

(dont steal them though)

about 40 hours of spare time

*the incentive to make a sweet stormtrooper helmet on the cheap.okay, lets get started.......................

Step 2: Download

step one:

download and install Pepakura viewer 1.03

download and open the Stormtrooper template.

learn how the viewer works. i.e. learn how to spin/drag the model how to zoom in and out with your mouse's scroll wheel how to pick individual pieces basic navigation controls (and play around with the settings when you right click in the helmet's window)

Step 3: Print

step two:

print out the 27 pages of the model.

dont worry, it uses a very veryy minimal amount of ink.

Keep them in order!! and keep them some place safe where they wont get creased ormolested in any way. i used a simple pocket folder.

in step one, it says " download the stormtrooper template here. and the word "here" is in blue. click on the word and it will take you to the site i have it saved to. the site only has a short sentence on it, where you click another blue word and the template will download to your desktop. the file is a RAR file, so after downloading, use a program like WinRar to extract the file. (right click, extract here) then (if you have pepakura installed) open the extracted file with pepakura and there ya go.

sorry about that .. i speak little English ... BTW thx so much for the helmet, i was looking for this file long time .. i will post my pics of the trooper helmet and my head ..i finish my own head in pepakura and facegen..

i tryed to describe the use of the program in as much of a vernacular as possible. i found out about the program and dove right into this project with no prior experience without any help, so it shouldent be too hard for other "avarage joes" to pick it up the "halo" master chief helmet is much more boxy then a stormie helmet. when pepekura makes a modle of somthing it translates it into polygons. with the storm trooper helmet being exclusivly curved surfaces it makes it much more complicated, but not to the point of being hard. i have also made the master chief helmet and it is much the same difficulty, this project however, just takes more time. if you downloaded the stormie model, you can see that the "brim" part (the black stripe above the eyes) takes up alot of page surface. this is because its made in long winding strips, but in general volume sense the helmates use about the same amount of paper. the stormtrooper one is just 100X cooler thanks!

hello , and thankyou for replying! very good question, i completly for got to mention that. haha, i updated step 9 under EDIT any other questions i would be happy to answer please send me pictures of your helmet when your done!

to use as a helmet? no the paper wont beable to hold up when you use the filler on it. it would collapse on itself, sorry! if you have a budget to buy a good deal more poster board, you can cutit into 8.5X11 sheets and print on the posterboard.
